I have to wonder what kind of betrayal Humble has in store for us for Tuesday.
Another week without a bundle?
Humble Malware Bundle, with each game on offer infected with a different variant of a cryptolocker?
Humble Nintendo EShop Bundle?

This Tuesday shall bring the long awaited arrival of the Humble Bethesda Bundle.

Or maybe a new numbered HIB. The last one was #16 in February, while it's usually something like 4 months between them.
 
Here is a bunch of free gleam crap. That's right, I gave up my personal information so you don't have too!

Splinter Cell Double Agent is so buggy. From buggy AI, to buggy Save/Load system to buggy sound. Two missions left to do and game looses sound for everything except player footsteps.

Pro:

Spaceships
Awesome looking
Rare multiplayer interaction
The Zeitgeist
A big mistery in the middle...


Cons:

...That might end up being a joke
60$ pricetag
3 day delay on PC
Survival
Crafting



Decisions, decisions. It would be much easier if the game were 40$ somewhere.

The biggest cons

Really TT is a scummy publisher.
I bought this
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016EU09Y6/?tag=neogaf0e-20

thinking it was the full season 1 for the game. I read the game's description, I saw there were in-app purchases but the description only reported a "episode 7 now available as in-app purchase", so I bought it, thinking to get the first six episodes.

But...nope. It's the first episode only. I also checked other TT titles, like Walking Dead, and here there's a message saying only the first episode is actually free, but on Minecraft there's nothing.

So I just entered
Hollywood
in Wasteland 2 after upgrading my rad suits with
cat litter
. How far from the end am I?
You are close to the ending. Less then 5 hours? It depends on how much optional stuff you do.
In
Hollywood
there is a lot to do, that you can skip if you just rush to the ending.

So, first Humble stops doing bundles.
Now Steam stops doing dailies?
What's next, Microsoft buying Valve and EAing them next year?
 
If I can ever get the DLC for like 5 bucks I might reinstall it to play that.

Season pass was like 5€ during christmas last year.

I like how burning guys in TEW is only even needed during the village. After that you never need to bother.

It does still have its uses. You can knock an enemy down by shooting their legs then run up to them and set them on fire before they get up. And if another enemy is close enough they'll get burned as well. Can save you some ammo.

It really is.

Then i'm just that good. Never used it after the village and had absolutely no issues difficulty wise. Thus the mechanic might help, but overall isn't very important if I managed that.

On normal, matches aren't a huge deal. Although the amount you can carry is cheap to increase, so it's never a bad idea. The fire harpoon is great for two specific enemies
Lara and fake Ruvik(s)
.

And you'd be surprised at how many of the set pieces you can stealth (kill) your way through.

The trip and burn technique never got old for me. Timing it right and taking out a bunch of enemies with just one bullet and one match is very satisfying.

I didn't realise it's effectiveness until late in the game so I can understand how it's easy to miss for many players. Abusing the hell out of it on replay was great.

Matches are also useful in conjunction with bolts. Place an electro bolt in front of a chokepoint and wait for it to stun a group of enemies, then light a match. (Doesn't work on the
two-headed enemy I think)
. Or shoot off a flash, stealth kill the center enemy and then throw down a match, setting the adjacent enemies ablaze.
